As noted, time and time again.

The Washington Post is amped up. It is its own story now.

It writes stories; generates headlines; creates blog posts; creates polls; and publishes editorials. It created ripples in its own affiliated media pond. It has become its own community of interest.

I have had my say on the matter. To everyone. To the Post directly in meetings and via my blog and via emails to them. In fact, the editor who wrote this editorial told me that if we ever decided to change the name he would write this very editorial.

We haven’t changed the name.  We haven’t made a decision. We haven’t done any work on it. It is “under consideration” because of the volume of emails that argue both sides of the debate.

But this is not a decision that I need to focus on. As noted we have many items completed in our To Do list; many items in progress; and a few items that we are considering due to the volume of email and suggestions. My issue is thus: There is now very little discussion on what we have done or this season. The focus is on what we have noted as input from our fans. Hence it is “under consideration.” The Post talks about it all of the time. I don’t. In fact, I don’t think much about it as I have my hands full with the seasons starting for the Caps and the Wizards.

You all now know where the Washington Post stands on this matter. At least in its editorial page. But it was also debated on PTI. Former and present day Washington Post columnists talked about it on ESPN. It was the subject of the Washington Post’s Mike Wise radio show, too. The DC Sports Bog has blogged about it. The monster has been fed. ”Hmmm. Tasty. Monster like.”

You now all know what the Washington Post audience feels about it due to their own poll. Go to Wizards Insider to see.

But I am focused on the here and now.

I believe this has all been blown out of proportion.

I understand both sides of the argument via the Washington Post itself. Good thing I am not being argumentative.  Drop the puck. Get to jump ball.
